EU Blue Card holder with full EU mobility.
I am a Senior Java Developer with experience in e-commerce, data migration, property management systems, and RESTful microservices. I have worked with FedEx, BlackRock, and Morgan Stanley.
Senior software engineer with 25+ years of experience, now focused on MLOps and AI platform engineering. I build the infrastructure that makes ML and LLM systems reliable, scalable, and maintainable in production. My background spans the full stack of ML delivery: from training data pipelines and CNN development (Bosch L4+ autonomous driving project) to LLM API infrastructure and GraphQL microservices (Instructure AI Platform), DevOps/cloud engineering, and high-throughput backend systems serving millions of daily requests (refurbed). I've worked in Python, Go, C/C++, Ruby, and TypeScript across Linux-first environments for two decades. I do my best work when the problem genuinely matters. My preferred domains are AI safety, climate and clean energy technology, health infrastructure, and animal welfare — anywhere engineering effort translates into reduced suffering or better outcomes at scale. I've built optimization algorithms for EV charging fleets, developed web infrastructure for civil liberties organizations, and analyzed data for national food safety systems. I'm drawn to research-oriented organizations and mission-driven product teams where reliability and correctness are taken seriously. Currently available for \*\*senior remote contract roles\*\* in MLOps, ML platform engineering, or LLM infrastructure.
